By sandwiching light-polarizing material in glass, then crossing two plates in a double wall construction, opaque ‘partition will result. n one of the plates is slid back, Lm partition will -become transparJens, permitting light to stream in. Colored plate glass walls with arti continuous / metallized decoraons was another possibility cited Dr. Silverman. Electricity pass“ng through the decorations would ‘heat the room. Glass floors could “be metallized like the walls, or glass foot-warmers designed as hassocks tould be used Were necessary portable stoves of - artistic metallized glass might be - @esigned. : . “A room at 60 degrees, insuring . war feet and uniform radiation toWard the body from all sides, would

declared Dr. Silverman, “than today’s home at
70 degrees or higher.” Glass construction combined with heating elements can .also have built-in lights, thus producing attractive heating and illuminating effects. Tempered glass doors, either clear or opaque, may lead from one room to another and cover cabinets and closets. Won't the home owner be nearly blinded by the glare from this glittering glass interior? Dr, Silverman answered with a definite “no.” By the recently developed treatment of sheet glass to produce thin etched films only about a molecule thick, almost all reflected light glare can be eliminated.

Secret Instrument Is Used To Select Night Lookouts
day vision, is blind at night, because the rod cells used in night vision are located around the outside of the eye's retina and are lacking in the center. The Canadian navy’s night vision research, under the direction of Surg. Lt. Cmdr. D. Y, Solandt, R. C. N. V. R., has resulted, it was announced, in a: new lighting of naval vessels “with a ghostly kind of illumination in which men can see to move about, but which does not affect the. cells of our eyes used for seeing in the dark. In spite of the fact that it takes 45 minutes for our eyes to grow accustomed to darkness, when the new watch goes on deck the lookouts can see the other ships in convoy, or a submarine’s conning tower. And the captain sees his charts by a red glow that does not

Explains Methods- of 2 Fighting Insects.
Insects and diseases that attack unless they are controlled, A A
cultural agent, told his ‘garden class at Indiana university extension center last night. “Very few gardens will escape atinsects, Mr. Irwin warned. Insects may be divided into two general groups and treatments are applied accordingly. The groups include: 1. Chewing insects which eat the plant foliage or fruit are common garden pests such as beetles, grasshoppers, grubs, cutworms andj mato worms. rally speaking, their method of feeding makes it possible to kill ‘them if a stomach poison such as arsenate of lead, calcium arsenate, rotenone, pyrethrum, paris green, calcium or barium fluosilicate (Dutox or Cryolite) is applied. 2. Sucking insects do not eat thd foliage but insert their mouth parts into the plant and withdraw the juices. Plant lice or. aphids, leafhoppers, scale insects and plant bugs are familiar examples of ‘this group.
Killing by Contact #t is necessary to apply to the bodies of these insects, directly or in a volatile form, a material which kills by contact. , Contact insecticides, as they are commonly called, include nicotine, pyrethrum, rotenone, oils and sulphur.
In addition to chewing the foliage or sucking the juices; insects also spread diseases. Diseases also may be carried on the seeds or in the soil. Some kill the seedlings before they reach the soil surfaces while others do not kill the plants, but check their growth and yields, Among methods Mr. Irwin suggested for control of diseases were seed treatments, planting diseaseresistant varieties, rotation, sanitation, insect control and the use of fungicides.
How to Protect Seeds
Seed treatments recommended were cuprocide dust for beet, carrot, pepper, spinach, tomato, cucumber, melon and squash seed; semesan for damping-off of cabbage and other crucifers; new improved semesan jr. for sweet corn, and spergon for beans, lima beans, peas and sweet corn. Mr. Irwin pointed out that the number of disease organisms in garden soil can be kept at a minimum by rotation of crops. That is, by not growing a particular kind of a vegetable more than one year in succession in the same location. Sanitation includes removing and destroying old plants as soon as the crops have been harvested and keeping down the weeds in and around the garden. Insects sometimes carry diseases over winter. They also frequently spread diseases from wild to cultivated plants and from diseased to healthy plants. Diligent insect’ control will reduce such damage.
Use of Fungicides
Fungicides, Mr. Irwin explained, are materials used to kill both bacteria and fungi which cause plant diseases. Timeliness of application is of major importance in controlling diseases with fungicides. The material must be applied before or as soon as the first signs of the disease appears. In using fungicides as sprays or dusts the complete plant must be cove ered, Mr. Irwin said. - Fungicides recommended were
per compounds, arsenical dust, cryolite dust, arsenical sprays and cryolite spray. Mr. Irwin urged gardeners to
